The refraction of light by the cornea and lens of the eye makes it possible for an image to form on the retina. Without the formation of an image, it would be possible for the retina to detect the presence or absence of light, but not shapes or objects.

What has to be different to allow refraction to occur?
The density. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media of differing densities, such as air and water.
Does refraction take place in opaque objects?
Refraction is the phenomenon which allows light to pass from one medium into the other. But opaque object will not allow light to pass through. So refraction becomes impossible in case of opaque objects.
How do you use refraction to see?
refrection unit rate
Why do you see a rainbow?
We see rainbow due to the refraction of the sun's rays by rain .
What does refraction means in terms of rainbows?
Refraction of bending lightrefraction means the bending of light, and the refraction of light in a prism causes to 'split' light in all its colors (that we can see and not see)Refraction is the bending of light. The bending of light is defined mathematically by Snell's law. The degree of bending through rain drops produces the various colors of the rainbow.

How does refraction affect the appearance of the sky?
The sky is blue because of refraction. Sunsets and sunrise are so beautiful because of refraction. If there was no refraction, we would see the sky as a black expanse.
What is a good link to see pictures of light refraction?
go to Google, and type in: a good picture of light refraction

Is refraction involved when you see a transparent object in a clear liquid?
yes
What might you see if refraction occurred during precipitation?
If refraction occurs during precipitation, it is possible that a rainbow will be visible after the storm. Rainbows are produced when the eye can actually see the bending of light rays that is not normally visible.
How does refraction change light?
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
Why does an object bend when put into water?
because of refraction , you see the object "bending"
